Definitely do not agree on Yakuza, though. They aren't particularly deep, but can be wildly entertaining if you're in the mood for their brand of comedy or chaotic combat. It's essentially the gaming equivalent of genuinely tasty fast food

I've only played the remastered version of the first one and I was not that impressed. It wasn't bad, but not great either. I have Like A Dragon in my catalogue, so I'll give that one a try eventually, especially since I've heard it's more like an RPG than the others.

Ah yes
Because less engaging and more railroaded level design, truly is the superior game design choice for a dungeon crawler

The first Yakuza is the worst of the series by far, even after it was remastered. The best introduction to the series is Yakuza 0, which showcases all of the franchise's best qualities without ever requiring you to understand the plot of another title.

soul = asians
soulless = whites
Asian "games" are literally gacha mtx infested anime zero-gameplay grindfest slop. How can asians ever have soul?
Outside of the FPS and Stealth sub-genres, pretty much all the best Action games were made by asians.
Could you list these games please?

What percentage of the studios must be Asian to count? Most game assets are farmed out to 3rd party studios in the 3rd world and many Japanese companies are full of gaijin fanboys.

I mean just name an Action sub-genre outside FPS and Stealth, and the Japs alone will most likely have more great games than the West:
- Action-adventure
- Figthing
- Brawlers (hack 'n' slash + beat 'em ups)
- Platformers
- Shoot 'em ups
- Racing (arcade)
- Rhythm

On most of these I have problems seeing where Western devs produced greater games than Eastern devs

3rd party studios in the 3rd world
You do know that China and India are still Asia right?

I want a list. Give me names not vague statements.

India doesn't count as Asian and you know it. Don't pull that street shitter bullshit.

All Asian games suck. Western games make Asian games look like dog shit.
Didn't say they sucked, I first said they made the best games and then to you further specified that they probably have more great games in those sub-genres than their western counterparts

Very different ethnic groups and you know it.
Europe also has very distinct ethnic groups throughout the continent

So name some. Doesn't have to be a lot but the genres you spoke about included several that are heavily Western at the top. Japanese racing games outside of Mario Kart are forgotten while Forza dominates the non-kart racing genre.

Weebs are all like "Asian is TEH BEST!" and when you ask them to back it up they just go "Western bad!" It's annoying and shallow. So back it up.

It does. Which is why we don't say Swiss watches are "European watches". The same way a street shitter is not a gook or a nip.

Forza is a simcade
I should've specified arcade racing games
And I was talking about game quality, not game financial success or popularity

Alright
Tell me one western Brawler better than Ninja Gaiden Sigma

I'll wait

It's technically correct
The same way a street shitter is not a gook or a nip.
Still all asian

Ninja gaiden isn't a brawler. So yes, that's a superior western game.

Why can weebs never back up their love of asian lady boy cock?

Even the logo looks soulless

Top - disgusting anime cancer.

Bottom - less disgusting anime cancer. Almost human-like, in fact.

If it weren't final faggotry, I'd file it under "incline".
counterpoint:
top - has nigger that look like niggers - SOUL
bottom - the nigger has been recast as a... uhhh... latinx... or any of those whatever brown ethinicities... to be more politically correct, I guess - SOULLESS
